THE QUEST FOR UNIQUE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES THAT ARE ENGAGING, ENTHRALLING, and ECO-CONSCIOUS

Manhattan’s Rooftop Wonderland

If you’ve always wondered how the most expensive real estate on the planet can be further squeezed in the name of enhanced pleasure (it’s not what you think!), here’s a look at how New Yorkers do it! Exquisite rooftop gardens, using every inch of rooftop of their tony addresses.

Proof that you can still pursue an eco-dream in a concrete jungle. The ultimate luxury in America’s most expensive city.

And if you don’t have access to anyone with these expensive backyards (I mean rooftop gardens), and are a mere mortal, you can always crash (well, not exactly, you’ll have to be a guest or know someone who is) at a more public Manhattan rooftop garden: at the Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District. A pool made famous by an episode in Sex in the City.
